About this property

1800s Log Cabin with modern amenities conveniently located.Closed 4 winter


The Homestead Cabin's main living area is an original 200 year old cabin. One of the oldest structures in the county. Over the years additions were made and modern conveniences were added. This is all ONE unit. It is spread out, but still one unit. The historic log cabin now has 3 bedrooms, including a sleeping loft and 3 full baths. One king size, two queen size and one twin bed. There is also a full eat-in kitchen in addition to the formal dining room which is in the historic part of the cabin. Relax in the hot tub and stay connected with wireless internet. There is a large family room on the left end. This is all part of this one unit. It is a large room with plenty of room for games or a great way to separate the adults from the children.

If you're looking for an authentic rustic log cabin, this is it. There is something special about walking in the front door to the aroma of a wood burning fire. Sit in the historic living room next to the beautiful stone fireplace that climbs to the top of the cathedral ceiling of this cozy room.

The cabin is centrally located in an area convenient to Hendersonville and Asheville NC. It is easily accessible to Hwy 25 (less than 1/2 mile) just off of a main road but hidden away in the woods. The authenticity of the cabin gives it a unique feeling and aroma of years past. Although it has additions for more modern facilities, it holds true to the 'cabin in the woods' feeling. This is not a newly constructed log cabin. It is a true 1800's log cabin with additions. Therefore, things are not perfect. The floors may creak and aren't level in places, and there are little quirks but it all gives way to the 'warm & cozy with plenty of room' that makes the cabin unique and authentic. You will get the feel of what it was like to live in a cabin in the 1800's, but have the comforts of this century. If you are looking for 'abundantly fancy with frills', this is not it. But, if it is relaxation and comfort with rustic thrown in that is convenient to most everything the area has to offer, I would love to have you as my guest.You'll love its original quirkyness and unique passages from room to room. Other guest continue to use the term 'cozy, with lots of room'.
Nestled among 80 foot tall hardwoods but only 5 miles from Main Street Hendersonville, 7 miles from the Asheville Airport, and 30 minutes from downtown Asheville.
Experience a taste of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachia from the 1800's with modern conveniences. There is often white & brown squirrels, hawks, Pileated Woodpeckers, ground Hogs, turkeys, sometimes deer and a bear has walked through a couple of times. Check in is 3:30 PM or after. If no one is checking out the same day you are checking in, I can work with you for an earlier check in time. Check out is no later than 10 AM to give my housekeeper time to clean up.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We were on a 3-day, 2-night family trip. The cabin is exactly as described by the host. Plenty of room. Our 13-year-old grandson particularly enjoyed the basketball goal outside with ball provided! Beds were comfortable and we slept and rested well. Also, as the host mentioned this would not be considered handicap accessible. One bedroom is upstairs and there are many steps throughout the house. The cabin is not far away from the town of Hendersonville which made it convenient to eat out and shop. My daughter-in-law and grandchildren enjoyed the hot tub. The host was very kind and accommodating. We thank the Lord for a wonderful short vacation as a family!

Fantastic Cabin in the Mountains.

We stayed at Capell's Homestead Cabin in Henderson County for 9 days. The cabin is quaint and serene, tucked back from the road. We were sent all the information we needed and then some. It was as advertised. We had plenty of room for other family to come and have dinner. We were centrally located to Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville and Lake Lure. The owner came and made sure we were comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again. 10/10

Great Experience

The cabin was wonderful. It's amazing that the family has kept this property in such good repair, you can tell they have put a lot of time and hard work into making this place feel so special. I will definitely be coming back soon. Check in was easy, owners are very responsive. Game room is a nice touch with lots of games/activities available. Kitchen was nice, we cooked a few meals and everything worked great. Place was super clean and the fire pit and jacuzzi were fantastic!

It's a real cabin!

Nice quiet cabin( except it rained everyday) The metal roof with the rain made for some good sleep. Unfortunately, the gas grill was in bad repair, and the hot tub didn't work, the trash cans outside were full. We cooked all our meals and the kitchen was adequate. The beds were very comfortable. The surrounding yard was nice. My husband and adult son didn't like how the TV was set up, you have to bring your own stick. Basic cable would've been nice. There are lots of things to do in the surrounding areas, location is great. Asheville is close and Hendersonville is a nice town. Overall, nice clean place to stay and we enjoyed our stay.

Charming cabin

This property was extremely charming! As soon as we pulled up it was like we took a step back in time. The flickering lantern when we walked through the door really set the scene in this 200 year old cabin. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It is way bigger inside. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy being together or spend time on their own. My 2 boys had the loft and my father in law was in one wing and my husband and I were in the other. The dining room, living room and game rooms were perfect to hang out together. We were there for Easter so we hid toy eggs all around the kids had fun finding them. The hot tub was an amazing way to end each day after exploring Asheville and the Biltmore Estate. We never got around to using the fireplace or fire pit but they looked cozy. Would definitely recommend and will rent again!

More than expected

We had a great stay in this unique cabin. The pictures don't do it justice. The cabin is much bigger than we thought and very private. The location was great for exploring the area outside of Asheville. There was plenty of firewood for nightly fires and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing at night. Becky was very nice and quick to respond to any questions and reached out to check on us. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Pittman

Host profile image
Welcome to Hendersonville! I am a native who grew up in the neighborhood and still live in the neighborhood. I love meeting my guest and making recommendations to meet your needs. I love working with land and selling land! I am a NC licensed realtor although they are inactive at this time. My full time position is working for one of the nations largest utility companies as an Research Specialist. I collect green depression glass (some call it Vaseline glass) and usually have a few pieces in the cabin for my guest to enjoy. I enjoy classic cars and going to car and tractor shows around the area. In spring, summer & fall there is always a car show somewhere close on Friday or Saturday night.
I love to cook for my family and also can (preserve) fruit & vegetables.

Why they chose this property

The cabin and the property around it were previously owned by my mom & dad during the 1970's. For various reasons it was sold several times, the cabin was added on to and took a different direction for the highest and best use. The previous owners set the property up as a vacation rental. When they listed it for sale in the spring of 2014, I realized it was my opportunity to put it back into the family. I am loving having the cabin in close proximity to my house. When it is not being rented I will occasionally go to the cabin with a cup of coffee, build a fire, sit on the sofa in the quiet and enjoy a good book. Total relaxation! I love the cabin and all of it's little quirks and hope that you will too.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is centrally located in an area convenient to Hendersonville and Asheville NC. It is easily accessible to Hwy 25 (less than 1/2 mile) just off of a main road but hidden away in the woods. The authenticity of the cabin gives it a unique feeling and aroma of years past. Although it has additions for more modern facilities, it holds true to the 'cabin in the woods' feeling. This is not a newly constructed log cabin. It is a true 1800's log cabin with additions. Therefore, things are not perfect. The floors may creak and aren't level in places, and there are little quirks but it all gives way to the 'warm & cozy with plenty of room' that makes the cabin unique and authentic. You will get the feel of what it was like to live in a cabin in the 1800's. If you are looking for 'abundantly fancy with frills', this is not it. But, if it is relaxation and comfort with rustic thrown in that is convenient to most everything the area has to offer, I would love to have you as my guest.
